CCHIO 2024 | Dr. Huaqing Wang: Exploring Bispecific Antibodies in Lung Cancer

Immunotherapy, represented by immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), has rapidly advanced in the treatment of lung cancer in recent years. However, challenges remain, such as limited efficacy with monotherapy and increased side effects with combination therapies. Multi-targeted combination therapies represent a potential avenue for advancing immunotherapy. Among them, bispecific antibodies (BsAbs), which simultaneously target two different antigens or epitopes, have emerged as a focus of attention for their ability to enhance the immune system's recognition and destruction of tumor cells.

CCHIO 2024丨Dr. Xiufeng Liu: Exploring the Clinical Potential of the “Cola Combination” from LEAP-002 to LEAP-012

The era of immunotherapy has brought new hope to advanced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with various targeted-immune combination therapies emerging as potential breakthroughs. However, the journey of the "Cola Combination"—pembrolizumab combined with lenvatinib—has been marked by mixed results. In the LEAP-002 trial, the combination showed negative results in the general population but positive outcomes in the Asian subgroup. The LEAP-012 trial further demonstrated the combination's efficacy when paired with transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) in intermediate-stage HCC. Yet, its precise role in clinical practice remains under discussion.
